Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of alloy steel manufacturing and relates to a steel plate for high-rise buildings and its manufacturing method. Specifically, it relates to an ultra-high strength steel plate for high-rise buildings with a tensile strength of 730MPa and its manufacturing method. Background Technology

[0002] Steel structures are highly favored by the market due to their high strength, light weight, good seismic performance, ease of construction of large spans and large spaces, short construction cycle, more reliable quality, environmental friendliness, and reusability. With the development of high-rise, large-scale, and green building structures, ultra-high-strength steel with tensile strength of 730MPa or even higher has broad application prospects.

[0003] Currently, there are few applications of ultra-high strength medium-thick steel plates with a tensile strength of 730MPa in the construction industry, and there are also few related patents. Moreover, the production process mainly uses quenching and tempering. For example, the patent "A high-strength, high-toughness, easy-to-weld structural steel plate with a yield strength of 620MPa and its preparation method" published in CN 112813344 B uses a quenching + high-temperature tempering process to produce easy-to-weld structural steel plates with a yield strength of 620MPa. Its disadvantages are that the process is relatively complex and the yield strength ratio of the steel plates obtained is high, not less than 0.88.

[0004] The publication CN 115216681 A, entitled "A Production Method of Q620GJ with Low Yield-to-Toughness Ratio and High Toughness", describes a process for producing Q620GJ steel plates using online quenching and high-temperature tempering. Its disadvantages are that the process is relatively complex and the alloy element content is relatively high, so it is mainly used for the production of plates with a thickness of 80mm or more. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Purpose of the invention: The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for preparing 730MPa grade ultra-high strength steel plates for high-rise buildings.

[0006] Technical Solution: This invention discloses a 730MPa grade ultra-high strength steel plate for high-rise buildings and its manufacturing method. The steel plate has the following mass percentages: C: 0.11%–0.13%, Si: 0.17%–0.30%, Mn: 1.61%–1.85%, P: ≤0.015%, S: ≤0.005%, Cr: 0.55%–0.85%, Ni: 0.30–0.50%, Cu: 0.15–0.30%, Nb: 0.040%–0.070%, V: 0.03%–0.06%, Ti: 0.010–0.020%, Al: 0.020–0.050%. The balance is Fe and unavoidable impurity elements.

[0007] Furthermore, the 730MPa grade ultra-high strength high-rise building steel plate has the following weight percentage composition: C: 0.11%, Si: 0.17%, Mn: 1.61%, P: 0.011%, S: 0.005%, Cr: 0.55%, Ni: 0.31%, Cu: 0.15%, Nb: 0.040%, V: 0.031%, Ti: 0.015%, Al: 0.021%. The balance is Fe and unavoidable impurity elements.

[0008] Furthermore, the 730MPa grade ultra-high strength high-rise building steel plate has the following weight percentage composition: C: 0.12%, Si: 0.24%, Mn: 1.76%, P: 0.013%, S: 0.003%, Cr: 0.74%, Ni: 0.39%, Cu: 0.22%, Nb: 0.058%, V: 0.043%, Ti: 0.010%, Al: 0.040%. The balance is Fe and unavoidable impurity elements.

[0009] Furthermore, the 730MPa grade ultra-high strength high-rise building steel plate has the following weight percentage composition: C: 0.13%, Si: 0.30%, Mn: 1.85%, P: 0.010%, S: 0.004%, Cr: 0.85%, Ni: 0.50%, Cu: 0.29%, Nb: 0.070%, V: 0.06%, Ti: 0.020%, Al: 0.048%. The balance is Fe and unavoidable impurity elements.

[0010] Furthermore, a method for manufacturing 730MPa grade ultra-high strength steel plates for high-rise buildings involves sequentially processing steel billets with the same composition as the 730MPa grade steel through a converter smelting process, an out-of-furnace refining process, and a continuous casting process to produce a 730MPa grade steel continuous casting billet with the target composition. The continuous casting billet then undergoes a slab heating furnace heating process, controlled rolling, controlled cooling, steel plate straightening, inspection, and warehousing. The specific steps are as follows:

[0011] (1) Heating regime of slab heating furnace: heating temperature is 1180~1220℃, total furnace time is 10~14min / cm, and uniform original austenitic structure is obtained inside the steel;

[0012] (2) Rolling process: Controlled rolling and cooling process is adopted, which is a two-stage controlled rolling process, namely rolling in the austenite recrystallization zone and the austenite non-recrystallization zone, with a total compression ratio of not less than 3 times: the rough rolling start temperature is ≥1080℃, and a large reduction method is adopted in this stage; the finish rolling start temperature is 900~930℃, and the thickness of the billet to be heated is not less than 3.0 times the thickness of the finished product. In this stage, by ensuring sufficient deformation, the austenite grains are stretched and deformed along the rolling direction. At the same time, by adding microalloying elements such as Nb and V, strain-induced precipitation of carbonitride particles is precipitated during this deformation process, which pins the austenite grains and prevents them from growing, thereby refining the microstructure after phase transformation and playing a certain precipitation strengthening role; the final rolling temperature is 860~890℃.

[0013] (3) Cooling process: After rolling, the water is quickly immersed and cooled by laminar flow. The water temperature is 820-850℃, and the final cooling temperature is 440℃-500℃. Then, it is air-cooled to room temperature.

[0014] Furthermore, the 730MPa grade ultra-high strength high-rise building steel plate described in this invention has a final microstructure of bainitic + ferrite, wherein the bainite content is 85%–90% and the ferrite content is 10%–15%. The steel plate possesses excellent comprehensive properties, including a low yield strength ratio, high strength, high elongation, and high and low temperature toughness.

[0015] Beneficial Effects: Compared with the prior art, the features of this invention are: 1. The 730MPa grade ultra-high strength high-rise building steel plate provided by this invention adopts a low-C, low-Fe, micro-alloying design, and adds a small amount of Cr, Ni, and Cu elements. Micro-alloying elements such as Nb and V precipitate during the two-stage rolling process, which pins austenite grains, inhibits austenite grain growth, and thus refines the grain size, while also providing a certain precipitation strengthening effect to ensure the high strength requirements of the steel plate; the addition of the high solid solution strengthening element Cr significantly improves the solid solution strengthening effect of the steel plate, and the appropriate addition of Ni element ensures the strength of the steel plate while significantly improving its low-temperature toughness. The addition of Cu element provides solid solution and precipitation strengthening, ultimately resulting in a high-performance steel plate; 2. The 730MPa grade ultra-high strength high-rise building steel plate provided by this invention adopts a controlled rolling and controlled cooling production process. The rolling process strictly controls the temperature and compression ratio of the two-stage rolling process, supplemented by a subsequent rapid water immersion controlled cooling method. By precisely controlling the red-hot temperature, a certain proportion of bainite and ferrite structure is obtained, while obtaining stable and excellent mechanical properties. The production process is short and the preparation method is simple; 3. The 730MPa grade ultra-high strength high-rise building steel plate has excellent comprehensive properties such as low yield strength ratio, high strength, high elongation, and high and low temperature toughness.
